In blow to Biden, Joe Manchin will not commit to backing $1.75 trillion spending bill

"While I’ve worked hard to find a path to compromise, it’s obvious: Compromise is not good enough for a lot of my colleagues in Congress. It’s all or nothing, and their position doesn’t seem to change unless we agree to everything," Manchin told a news conference.

The package was half the size of Biden's prior $3.5 trillion goal, after dropping some progressives' priorities, including new paid family leave benefits and key climate control provisions. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer insisted: "We are still talking and working through important details and making good progress."

Manchin demanded immediate House action on a $1 trillion infrastructure bill that the Senate passed in August with the support of 19 Republicans. In addition to hoping to pass the two major bills, Congress faces critical deadlines in the next five weeks to avoid a government shutdown, a potential embarrassment for Democrats, and avert an unprecedented default on the federal government's debt with its catastrophic economic consequences.Despite Monday's setback, negotiators continued working on the spending bill.

There had been growing optimism since Biden's private meeting with House Democrats on Thursday that the two bills, totaling more than $2.75 trillion, could advance quickly in the House, maybe as soon as this week.

Thank you. Joe Manchin is saving America.

Joe Manchin is a typical Republican.

He needs to go and someone needs to look into his family’s finances

He can’t commit until his donors make an offer.

So much for the new “framework”

It’s not a blow to Biden. It’s a blow to the Americans. The poor are suffering, but Biden still has millions of dollars

I think the headline should say, 'While Blowing Corporate Donor's, Joe Manchin swallows all hope of a Congress advancing the Reconciliation bill this week.'

We need a ‘People’s Lobby’ to offset the corporate lobbyists that are lining his pockets, for the good of the planet.

TRANSLATION: Republican Joe Mansion being a good boy, doin´ what his rich Corporate Donors want...

In blow to the American public who would directly benefit from this package? Hello? This isn’t sports.

Nah, 'In a blow to the planet, In a blow to the poor, In a blow to America,' Joe Manchin will not commit to listening to the American People.

ankhfit8 oops

Manchin is opposed to the $10000 reporting requirement. Without that provision day laborers, migrant workers, and other ppl who get paid under the table will continue to evade taxes! Normal people shouldn't be able to evade taxes--only the rich!

It may be time for West Virginia to give up on Joe Manchin

PLEASE CALL THE OFFICE OF JOE MANCHINE AND LET HIM KNOW HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT HIS OBJECTION TO DO AWAY WITH THE FILLIBUSTER; (304)- 368-0567 OR (202)-224-3954AND DO NOT FORGET TO ALSO CALL KYRSTEN SINEMA 202-224-4521, 520-639-7080, 602-598-7327. THANK YOU.

Good!!!!!

In a blow to his own constituents, Joe Manchin continues to preen for power instead of provide much needed federal dollars for infrastructure”
